Then I can hit the casino's again... Timber! I will take you to the red fish and drum spots... Sheep heads and flounder spots, so start rigg'in your poles buddy.

The first few times I caught something here in texas, I would ask the guy next to me, what the heck is this? <Holding up my catch> and the guys would laugh and say, a fish, I would get cranky and say, no man, what kind of fish is this, I have never seen one like it before. I caught a lot of slack from the fishermen here, I would have to come home, look on-line and figure out what the heck I caught, lol. Most fish here in texas are silver, or brown, and I am use to rainbow color fishes... Then I finally caught a flounder, and I thought it was a freak fish, I wanted to throw it back into the water until another fisherman said, waitttttttttttttt don't throw that back, it's a flounder, dem is good eat'en. That day I caught a whold bunch of them, and Left drunk and with $80.00 in my pocket cause the guys bought them from me.
Now my goals here are the Red Fish... yeee hawww, I think I am getting the hang of this gulf coast action.

Well this morning after WT went to work i got up and started cleaning and tearing apart my reels and putting fresh line on them. they have set for 8 years with dirt blowing on them and they needed a good cleaning. So Blaze I'm ready. I really want to go flounder fishing. It's a mild fish I don't mind eating. But I just want to go fishing and catch anything LOL. When I use to catch Red Snapper out in San Diego, the problem if you brought them up too fast their tongue blew out of their mouth and and couldn't throw them back so i always found people that wanted them. If I know someone wants the fish I catch i will clean them and give them to them, but if not i catch and release . I heard tell down where the USS Texas battleship is on the other side in the state park is suppose to be a great place to catch flounder and you don't need a license. I watched a couple of guys throwing out a net and catching some fish just up to their knee's.
I wish it would get warmer.
